    I spoke with Dave Franco about co-writing The Rental with Joe Swanberg. Listen to hear what his writing process is for creating this psychological thriller. Stick around at the end of the video for my thoughts on the movie and why watching a film like this can be helpful for your writing skills.

    ABOUT BEHIND THE CURTAIN
    This channel is a way for me to share the best nuggets of knowledge for filmmakers I find. It's an attempt to take a look inside the greatest films and TV shows and learn from the creators themselves how they do what they do.

      I, too, have been watching this channel for a while now and it’s such a good place to relate to the big guys and to motivate myself to write better. Most importantly it’s a good spot to get a better understanding of storytelling.

    That's dope you got to interview Dave Franco. I feel like your review of this film was unfair. It seems like you didn't like the film because it wasn't executed the way YOU would have done it. I'm not sure if you simply judged it for what it was. Just a thought.

    • @BehindtheCurtain
      @BehindtheCurtain  3 роки тому +2

      Hey, Orlando! It wasn't meant to be a full review. Instead, I was trying to suggest how you can benefit as a filmmaker from films that you don't like parts of, using The Rental as a personal example. It's not bad _because_ they executed the film in a way I wouldn't have done it. It's more about being able to articulate why I didn't like it and how I would've done it differently. This forces me to critically think and not just right it off as a bad movie. Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks for watching.

    But they failed to create complex characters, totally. Speaking for myself, I certainly didn't care whether they get killed or they survived. But as a whole, the movie worked well and I don't regret watching it. The expositions about the hot-headed brother, in the beginning, were completely forced. The telescope was a 'Checkov's gun that never fired' which was introduced just as a means to be able to show that the caretaker could access the house if he wanted to and that was meant to make the audience suspicious of him, I get that, but, honestly, nobody would seriously think the guy would be the weird one unless they've never seen a thriller movie before in their entire life.

    • @isaacruddell7940
      @isaacruddell7940 3 роки тому +1

      I'm sure if he did end up being the bad guy you would have said the same thing. I do understand your criticisms completely but it was certainly a possibility.

      That isn't the intention at all. We had a good conversation. Dave was able to explain his process and what he was trying to do with this film. My thoughts at the end are not meant to be a full review. Rather, I was suggesting that it can be beneficial for aspiring filmmakers to articulate their thoughts on why they didn't like parts of films and think about how they might do it differently. I look forward to what Dave Franco has in store for us next. Have you seen the film? What were your thoughts on it? Thanks for watching.

    • @AlessioMorello

      No need to feel sorry for Dave. He’s a privileged pretty boy riding heavily on his brother’s success and this film has a 5.8/10 on Imdb.
